Third Phase Of...Hoax

If you've ever ventured the multitude of UFO videos on YouTube, then you've undoubtedly seen the overly dramatic Blake Cousins (pictured above) who runs Thirdphaseofmoon, a YouTube channel dedicated to posting UFO videos with over 150,000 subscribers. Problem is, a lot of these videos are obviously fake, but promoted on a 'let the public decide' disclaimer topped off with a 'we're not going to suppress the truth' mantra.

The following is listed in the about section of their YouTube channel: "Rated Top Best UFO and Paranormal Video On YOUTUBE! Our goal is simple:
To bring unfiltered video, messages & research in the field of
ufology directly to the public SUBSCRIBE For more Amazing Video! Join Us
on Twitter! For business or promotional enquiries please send your
requests to cousinsbrothersproductions-at-gmail.com"

Business and promotional inquiries? Interesting.

Check this video out where Cousins claims, "We've analyzed these photos and zoomed in one-thousand percent, and
as you can see there are birds actually flying and swarming around this
massive vehicle."

"The design of this space craft is unbelievable," says Cousins, who has already reached the conclusion that the object in the photos is indeed an intergalactic vehicle.

Wow, you actually zoomed in one-thousand percent? Nifty. Too bad this "massive craft" is clearly a UFO toy as demonstrated by the video below.

Cousins gets called out in the below video in a fairly weak back and forth between him and another YouTuber calling herself Sheilaaliens, which is very revealing about Cousins and his take on how to sell sensationalistic material - check it out for yourself:

"It's amazing what people will do for money nowadays," Cousins says dramatically. Yes it is, especially for that YouTube ad revenue and with some of the worst scripted acting ever filmed - see for yourself what it looks like when you try to build your own credibility by hoaxing yourself exposing a hoax:

Just wanted to say thanks for your work and time. I'm glad Third Phase of Dumbmoon has been officially exposed. These guys are horrible actors... I'm guessing most of their youtube subscribers must be naive 12 year olds.

Also, what's up with just about every UFO website out there using over the top photoshopped 3D images of titles and UFOs on their front page. The 90's was a long time ago. Credible websites don't look like they were made in the 90's with horrible Photoshop skills.
